This Ph.D.-trained software technology expert witness has more than 40 years of experience in computer engineering, integrated circuit design, and software systems. He earned a Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and completed the AEA/Stanford Executive Institute with distinction. His practice focuses on intellectual property matters involving complex technologies, and he has more than 15 years of experience providing deposition testimony, consultations, and courtroom testimony in disputes related to patent infringement, patent validity, and trade secret misappropriation, including testimony in jury trials, arbitration, federal court, and International Trade Commission proceedings.

His work involves technical analysis across software and hardware integration domains, including electronic design automation (EDA) software, integrated circuit design and simulation, and source code evaluation. He has examined analog, digital, and RF/microwave circuit designs, including components such as phase-locked loops, voltage regulators, memory circuits, and signal processing systems. His experience also includes system-on-chip architectures, embedded software, and analysis of hardware-software interactions in cellular communication systems, including technologies related to LTE and other communication standards.

A significant portion of his work addresses intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement and validity analysis, copyright infringement, and trade secret misappropriation. His analysis includes identification of copied source code, evaluation of software development practices, and examination of electronic data in litigation contexts. He has investigated issues involving database schemas, web-based applications, VoIP systems, and analysis of Android and iOS systems in patent-related contexts, as well as source code repositories and version control systems to determine authorship, provenance, and potential misuse of proprietary technology.
